How accurate is the factory oil guage?i got the sender for my car from autozone.its an 82 with a 4.1.
cold start it reads about 40psi,wich im happy with.finally drove it last night.hot idle in drive its reading almost zero and about 15psi driving.on the way home the gauge started jumping around a bit.no ticks or knocks.im gonna put a mechanical gauge on it when i get a chance.i just put a new crank,bearings,oil pump,gaskets and seals in it.i really dont care about the motor but want it to last till the snow starts flying.
